El Paso police are investigating a stabbing that caused a school to go into a security lockdown in Sunset Heights Monday afternoon.

A police spokesman said a person was cut, possibly with a box cutter, in the 900 block of West Missouri Avenue near Mesita Early Childhood Development Center at Vilas. The wounds were not believed to be life-threatening, police said.

The school went into a lockdown from 1 p.m. to 2:45 p.m., said Gustavo Reveles, a spokesman for the El Paso Independent School District.

"Everything was fine," Reveles said. "We went into a lockdown as a precaution."

EPISD police stood guard while El Paso police worked behind crime-scene tape on Fewel Street on the east side of the school.

There had been no arrests as of Monday afternoon, and an investigation continues, police said.
